An installation that look like it's just made for us to meet

An exploration to find reality in something that is captured in a digital archive. A search for the self, in the post-
digital world. In a relatable and specific melanchiloic lens to be recognisable by the soft souls. Metalogical view
from a 25 year old exploring the meaning of her existnece. An artistic experimentation with form and vision, as
she is part of the system, of many systems. Talking about themes like the blackbox of our thoughts. Told to you
by a determined and yet escaping explorative voice. Based on research by Susan Sontag, Peggy Phelan,
Walter Benjamin and Stuart Hall, envioned as a diary like essay film, using low art in a high sense of medium.

A funny and scattered ecploration of life, in a melancholic way. Trying to capture and translate life into a Moving film.

"I long for life to be a scan, a map of connections that you could retrace. As I grabbed my camera and tried to
record this moment."

lenght: 14.16 min.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? I almost lost my butt crack

On the day, 10th of April, we get a glimpse of seven people who are stuck in their mind bubbles, and try to break out of them. This absurd five-chapter film lets you reflect on our 21st century contemporary living in a surprisingly philosophical way. It’s an eclectic film that plays with the mix of high and low art.

lenght: 28.09 min.
